The seat supports came from Corbeau for $79 a pair. They also do slide as well. I plan to make some kind of wrap or something to go around the base of the seats to hide the ugly brackets.

I have been working on the truck a little more often lately. Got most of the interior back together. The gauge cluster turned out VERY nice. I put my new OEM carpet in which looks very nice also. I just wired up a keyless entry system with a starter kill. I learned a lttle bit about 5 wire reverse polarity door locks and dome light triggers to. Pretty easy overall. Gotta love the internet.

neev_nav · 03-28-2007, 08:56 AM

Love to read about your work. Keep the updates coming!

97silv5.7 · 04-01-2007, 12:08 PM

wow that interior is coming along nicely you must be getting pretty stoked to get her out this summer!

phantom dually · 05-10-2007, 11:16 PM

Ok here is a very visually small update. I have the door panels getting some embroidery wor done. I installed a Belt harness bar which you can see in red behind the seats. I welded the bar into the cab corners as well as bolted it to the floor behind each seat. All I have left on the interior is the O **** handle on the PS and to get the dash bezel and door switchs painted. Thinking of a red for those as well. I also am going to have interior guy make some skirts for the bucket seats. I got the electric fans mounted up. I do have to take them back out though. It seems that the manufacturer Perma Cool put a oversized retainer clip on the fan blade. They had a recall on these. Anyhow here are a few pics for you guys. Sorry for the delay in updates.

chevysnbuicks · 05-16-2007, 01:23 AM

So how is it going? How much trouble have you run into with switching the HVAC stuff? I have yet to start my 88 to 97 dash conversion.

Looks sweet, can't wait to see more.

Not a whole lot has been going on. My wife and I are getting a divorce so things have slowed way down. I have done very little to the truck but do plan on keeping it.

Crank · 07-20-2007, 05:18 PM

Wow, sucks to hear about your wife and you... Hope you'll be happier at least afterwards... If you gotta go... Take the lift with you... hehe. Good luck with it and keep us updated on anything.

E...... Bummer man. Been there & it's a rough road. Hopefully things are civil & the 'damage' is minimal.

PM anytime if you need to vent.

phantom dually · 07-21-2007, 05:11 PM

Thanks guys! I can replace material things for sure. The truck I will keep even if I have to pay her half of book which isnt much Im sure. So far she isnt being to civil at all. The lawyer has got into her head already! In the end I will be better off and happier without her.

**Palf70Step** · 07-21-2007, 06:00 PM

Sorry to hear the news. Been there, and hope it goes smoothly for you. We'll be here when you need us!

phantom dually · 08-06-2007, 10:56 PM

Got the Msd box mounted and the coil. I ended up running a thru the firewall coil wire piece from MSD. Mounted the 6al under the dash as well as the coil. Ill get a few pics later. Havent done to much but its something!

Snyder729 · 08-06-2007, 11:08 PM

Thanks for the comments! I love the truck also. Wish i had a little more motivation though. Welcome to this great community!!

BayouSS · 08-07-2007, 09:02 AM

Motivation will come back after all is settled. Hope all works out ok, your energy in this truck is what has inspired me in my truck and others I'm sure.

It happens anytime a damn lawyer gets involved. Been there done that. She had the better lawyer. She had hers and mine. Hopefully everything will work out good for you. Mine got alimony and support. All I had left from a 40 hour work week was $40.00 take home.

Glad to see your getting back on the truck!!! It does the mind good to occuppy it on something other than a divorce.

Kevin

phantom dually · 08-07-2007, 06:43 PM

Thx for the motivation and kind words of encouragement guys!! Its things like this that bring me back time and time again to this board.

phantom dually · 11-27-2007, 02:38 PM

Hey Guys! Long time no talky! LOL! Life has been up and down for me. Single life sure is diffrent to say the least! I think I have 1 whole update since my last post! SORRY! Had some embroidery work done on the door panels. Gonna recover the grey carpet in black on the lower part of the panel. Pics are crappy cell pics from my TREO. Also gonna paint maybe the trim ring around the door handle and possibly the window switch panel. Anybody have some interior chrome handles?? CHEAP!!

neev_nav · 11-27-2007, 03:09 PM

Looks awesome! Glad to see you're still working on the truck. It's a great project.

ChevyDude · 11-28-2007, 12:16 AM
